Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While a corneal thickness of 475-485 microns in each eye with a -9 diopter prescription might seem borderline for LASIK, it's crucial to understand that corneal thickness is only one factor in determining LASIK suitability. A comprehensive eye exam is needed to assess your overall eye health and the specific needs of your vision correction

View allI have 660 vision in my left eye with glasses and 69 vision in my right eye with glasses. My left eye has a power of 7D and my right eye is 2.75D. I'm 16 years old and really worried can this be fixed with surgery or will I have to live with this forever? Also, will my right eye keep getting worse over time? Am I at risk of going blind in both eyes as I get older?
Your vision can be improved with surgery such as LASIK or ICL, especially if progression stops. Follow-up is essential to monitor long-term stability.
